Not the best day ever when it starts with a yellow sky
When I opened my eyes this morning, the sky was yellow. Not the sun, because it was overcast and a little rainy. The sky was literally yellow. I got a reply-tweet from an MIT student who confirmed she saw the same thing:
@akwhitacre Glad I’m not crazy. I spent a while wondering if my eyes were going wonky.
The weirdness of the yellow sky captures the mood today, because I’m watching my wife get one piece of weird news after another. Her father found out he has five herniated disks. Her cousin went to the hospital and was diagnosed with diverticulitis and may need surgery. She checked Newsday to find out a) a woman was beaten a couple blocks from the church where we were just married and b) an old classmate of hers has gone missing.
I pray for healing backs, healthy colons, a lot of justice, and a safe return. But mainly I pray that I don’t see that yellow sky again.
